"We’ll be bringing in new technology, such as the tablets, mobile ordering and table service.

New technology will be introduced at the branch

“We’ve launched mobile ordering [at Market Place] but Shelthorpe will take it to the next level.

"It’ll be all the latest technology and decor, it’s going to look great.

"It’ll be up there as one of the most advanced McDonald’s in the UK.

“It’s planned for next June and it’ll close down for about four weeks. I want people to walk in and say ‘wow, look at this’.”

Mr Rhodes said he also wants to introduce special events - such as signature Saturdays - to Shelthorpe and will look to make links with schools and charities in the area, like he has with the Market Place establishment.

He said: “With franchising, you commit for 20 years, so I’ve got another 18 years [with Market Place] and 20 with Shelthorpe.

"It’s a massive commitment to the local community, and I am committed to Loughborough.”
